About Me

This blog is my blissful journal of happiness. It’s about everything I adore and people I love. Thanks for stopping by. If you would like to write me, please feel free to email me: diana.mieczan@hotmail.comHave a jolly good day!

Darlings, what are you up to this weekend? My mom in England is celebrating after the beautiful Royal wedding tonight but Balazs and I are planning a low key weekend. We're thinking about a spa day tomorrow and some good Italian pasta this evening. Hope you will get tons of sunshine in the next two days and here are a few great links from around the web. Enjoy!

Are you wearing stripes this spring? This tee is on my spring wish list!...London tray! Would love to have it in my home:)...
Sweet ballet flats :) Happy and fun!...Fabric flowers necklace..So romantic!...
I can' get enough of shirt dresses and this one is my favourite so far! And how about that amazing trench coat with a twist! (it's under $50).What a steal!...
A beautiful vintage Royal Copenhagen Marianne Johnson dish! Such a treasure to have. Isn't it stunning?...

Yahoo! Aren't those photographs hilarious? Photographer Christian Gideon and a few of his close friends had this brilliant idea of shooting a series of photos where for a day they pretended to live in IKEA's showrooms. I have to admit that secretly I wish I could join in the fun! (is it just me?) Sweets, aren't those funny? xo

Update: After reading this post Irena went to her local Ikea and recreated the same concept! Brilliant! Check it out:)

P.S: Are you watching the Royal wedding as we speak? I'm totally glued to the telly! (emotional)

Seems that braids are timeless! I remember sporting them all the time as a little girl and last night I gasped when I saw this cool fishtail braid tutorial! The directions are quite straight forward and with a little practice I hope I can get the hang of it. (I'm terrible with my hair). I can totally picture wearing those perfectly messy braids, red lipstick and a floral sun dress:). Sweets, would you go for this look? What's your favourite type of braids? (For me it's between fishtail braids and crown braids). xox

Today's giveaway is from DownEast Basics, an awesome shop full of cute clothes, swim wear, accessories and home decor. They are offering you a chance to win a swimming suit of your choice! You can choose between their DownEast and Modbe collection. The fun thing is that you can mix and match the top with buttoms (are't those the cutest?). It’s totally up to you and your creativity!

Yahoo! It's strawberry season already and yesterday we had the most relaxing and sunny picnic with friends. Besides the usual snacks of cheese, nuts and fruits, I made cheesecake stuffed strawberries! (Recipe here). There is something so fun about miniature food, don't you think? Darlings, did you have your strawberry-tease already? xo

P.S: Thank you for the sweet Easter wishes! I missed you a bunch and I can't wait to catch up with you all:)
P.P.S: Stay tuned for GIVEAWAY Wednesday...(perfect for summer hot days!)

My Sweets, what are you up to this Easter weekend? Are you celebrating? Visiting family? Hosting a dinner? Or maybe spending the day munching on Cadbury eggs? Balazs and I are looking forward to a little staycation which includes catching up with family over a few delicious meals, spending a few days with friends, having picnics in the park and drinking cocktails. Wish you all a wonderful Easter break and I will see you Wednesday morning! Big kiss:)

I love the sleeves on this top! Oh...spring is in the air!...
Those 100% organic face shammy cloths will become my BFFs. They are perfect on the go! Also, as part of the Earth Day celebrations One Love Organics will dotane 25% of all sales to the Earth Day Network...
I'm slowly thinking about Mother's Day gift ideas. This gold disc necklace...
...and this morse code necklace that spells the word MOM would make a heartfelt gift. Don't you think?...
This scarf is so adorable! I want to wear it with a high messy French bun and red lipstick like this pretty girl!...
I'm crazy about dresses with pockets (aren't you?) and this one not only has pockets but also looks amazing from the back! Win-win!...
Simple bowls are the prettiest and those are so lovely for a warm soup or an evening cup of jasmine tea...
Those beaded hoop earrings would go so well with this dress! Sexy and chic:)...
Aww... isn't this poster sweet? (and only $10.99)...
A really neat leather clutch made from recycled couch leather! I bet it would look great with jeans or with a dress! ...
Those bow sandals are the cutest and would go so well this the dress above, don't you think?...

My dolls, how are you today? Did you get some cute new spring stuff for yourself or your home lately? Anything on your wish list that you are swooning over? xo

My love affair with hats continues with Fedora! They are beautiful and seems that they can transform anyone into a confident Parisian at heart! (Fun fact: The Fedora hat is apparently named after a woman in a French play called, "Fédora" written by Victorien Sardou in 1882). Aren't they beautiful? Darlings, any of you got a great hat recently? I think, I'm ready to try wearing one myself. So, what do you reckon? xo

Seems that bold colours are everywhere right now and I love how this pretty girl embraced the trend with a mix of natural hues and neon pink! All layered in perfect balance. I can't help but adore the European fun vibe. Darlings, are you brave enough to wear bold colours this season? Will you? xo

I usually wear my hair down or in a messy bun but I'm so happy to see that Maegan did a fantastic video tutorial on how to create a messy rope braids and low bun hairdo. Perfect spring look! Balazs and I have a garden wedding coming up next month and I think this will be perfect. Dears, what do you think? Would you try this look? xoxo
